You sure are looking good. You’re everything a big bad wolf could want.

Little Red Riding Hood

I don’t think little big girls should

Go walking in these spooky old woods alone. Owoooooooo!

My youngest daughter, Emily, had gotten a super cute fleece coat (from the Gap) for her first birthday. When I came across McCall’s M5743 pattern, it was almost an exact match to the store bought coat. So I needed to make a red version for my oldest. I highly recommend this coat pattern. It’s really easy with fleece because you don’t have to worry about finishing any of the edges. It’s not lined, but it makes a great spring or even fall coat. I’ll be making this again I’m sure.

That is one beautiful coat! Thank you so much for the link to a button tutorial. I’m just about to get on the proper sewing band wagon (as opposed to just playing at it) and I needed someone to tell me about button holes. It’s funny what preoccupies my mind sometimes!Thanks again!a-m x
